Tattoos

When I went to get Josie after her nap the other day I was surprised to see not only her in the bed but also a small collection of markers and some paper.  I asked her what she was doing and she said projects.  It wasn't until I went to pick her up that I noticed her arms.  I said, "What is that?" Her response, "What? They are just tattoos.  See this one is polka dots and this one is a rainbow."  All I could do was shake my head.  We have since had the discussion that markers are for papers and not for arms. Also, that tattoos are for grown ups.

Connections

I love how the mind of a youngster makes connections.
Josie: Mom, can I have the grilled chips?
Me: What chips do you want?
Josie: The chips that are grilled.
Me: I don't know what chips you mean. Show me.
She points to the barbeque chips. Oh right, the grilled chips. 
Sure you can have those.

Josie has a new dwelling out back and she LOVES it!  Uncle Mike and dad put it together for her back in the beginning of May (yes, I am that far behind). Anyway, she plays kitchen for long periods of time.  One day she announced that it was a great house but it was missing a barbeque.  Well, she didn't really need one but I thought it would be a cute addition so after a week of having good days at school and doing all the things she is supposed to so we can get out on time in the morning we picked out a barbeque. We also added a garden off to the left.  Nothing is growing yet but we have high hopes. Regardless she is now all decked out and ready to entertain.
